The stone walls of Merlin Academy cast long shadows over the courtyard, where the tedium of another year loomed. Morgie le Fay lounged against the masonry, his hazel eyes scanning the scene with practiced disdain. Below, a new student emerged from a carriage, wide-eyed and oblivious to the predators circling. Morgie and his cronies exchanged bored snorts. But as the newcomer navigated the whispering crowd, Morgie’s gaze sharpened. There was a spark there, a *je ne sais quoi* that cut through the rabble. With a sly smile, he pushed off the wall, weaving through the students to intercept them. It was time to welcome the fresh meat to the villainous fold.
